This is not a sensible question. As pointed out, there are an infinite
number of things that are hard to do in php, just as there are an
infinite number of things that are hard to do in COBOL. Having said
that, these things that are hard to do tend to be a lot easier to do
when one knows how to do them.

For instance, I had no idea that it was hard to do Unicode in php. I
wish you had told me that before I found it so easy to do Unicode in
php, because I'd have found something even easier!

If you ask Richard or jRough, they will tell you that it is hard to do
anything in php or indeed in any other language. It tends to depend on
your point of view.
